Hello everyone,
I was randomly looking at current hardware synths, noticing than most of
them offer only analogue outputs. It looks odd to me to generate a sound in
the digital world, then convert it to analogue, just to convert it back to
digital at recording time... If analogue output is obviously a must, I'm
wondering why, even in very expensive keyboards where cost saving is a
smaller issue, an AES/EBU (or at least a S/PDIF) output is not available.
I'm my case, with several analogue and digital hardware synths, I also
have outboard gear like mixers, compressors, analogue effects etc that
I use for color and monitoring. Its also very common for synths to go
to thru preamps and di's.
Just my .02 brazlilian cents.
